Paddleboard, Kayak, and Boat Rentals

Paddleboard, Kayak, and Boat Rentals

Heritage Harbor Ottawa partners with Quest Watersports for paddleboard, kayak, and boat rentals. All rentals are launched from our protected, low-traffic, 32-acre marina. It’s a great spot for beginners to get a feel for boarding or kayaking. From there, riders may venture out to the Illinois River and enjoy 12+ scenic miles between the Marseilles and Starved Rock locks. For your convenience, our staff will transport the equipment to the marina launch site for you, and retrieve it when you’re finished.

Quest Watersports also offers boat club membership! Imagine your choice of premium boats, whenever you like. Better yet, NO boat loan, NO maintenance expense or hassle, and NO storage or trailering. Just choose a boat online, pick a time to go boating, and that boat will be ready and waiting for you at the marina.

Hear from our homeowners!

"Everything is wonderful at Heritage Harbor, some times I have to pinch myself because I can't believe I'm living here."

Laura S.

"We like the long term vision of the project where you can enjoy the tranquility of looking at the river and the social aspect of the marina, the pool and the restaurant."

Jim and Lori R.

"We had been talking about buying a vacation home for a while but our main concern was travel time. Originally, we were looking in the Geneva or Delavan Wisconsin area. Because we wanted activities that we could take advantage of in both the summer and winter months. But, we were still looking for something a little closer. Heritage Harbor was our answer. It is only one hour from our home in Downers Grove! It has the Illinois River, Starved Rock, the I&M Canal, and the downtown area of Ottawa which can be enjoyed year round. Each weekend is a different experience"

Dan & Julie M.

"The benefit of a home in Heritage Harbor is not just investing in memories but also it is a good real estate investment on the water."

John & Christina V.

"My experience is in Ottawa has been very fulfilling. I have always wanted to have a property with river access. I grew up in Peoria on the river and now that I live in Chicago I can maintain contact with friends and family have a place to entertain. Additionally, I have found the people of the surrounding communities very friendly."

Tom S.

“We live in a community. It’s very friendly, open, relaxing and enjoyable. It’s not a lake home and it’s not a cottage. You really have to come experience what it’s all about.”

“It’s perfectly private out here, yet we have access to the downtown area. It’s got the best of both worlds.”

“You could go to Lake Geneva, Michigan or Florida and have the same thing this has, but this is close to home. Why go out of way when what you want is 45 minutes away?”
